PHOTO WALLPAPER IN THE KITCHEN

If for the wall of the worktop area in the kitchen we choose finishes easy to maintain, like tile, mosaic or stained glass, for the dining area and for finishing the wall next to it, choice may be more difficult, especially when you want to obtain a decor with great visual impact. If you want more than one wall painted in a neutral or of impact color, I suggest you consider applying a decorative photo wallpaper that can make the difference.

Generally associated with the decor of living rooms, rooms with generous surfaces, photo wallpapers can be used in smaller spaces, as are many of the apartment kitchens and more.

CHOOSING THE PHOTO WALLPAPER DEPENDING ON THE KITCHEN’S STYLE

Even if it can be used in different styles, the photo wallpaper fits best in spaces decorated in minimalist style, where it doesn’t risk to be overshadowed by other elements of decor. So if you have a modern kitchen, you can take into account the application of a decorative photo wallpaper on one of the walls, the dining area being often the best. Even a small kitchen can be decorated like this, so you can make it seem larger, choosing a model with depth effect.

But what to do if your kitchen has a classic, elegant air and yet you like the idea of using this decorative finish? If the decor is not very full of various elements specific to this decorating style, you can apply a photo wallpaper even in a classic kitchen, the only condition being to choose the right wallpaper: a beautiful street in a romantic city or the picture of a field of wildflowers.

THE COLORS OF THE PHOTO WALLPAPER

An image dominated by cool shades of blue, green or violet can give depth to the kitchen, making it seem larger than it actually is, while images composed of warm colors (red, yellow, orange etc. ) will create the sensation of shrinking the space.

Choosing the colors of a wallpaper can be made depending on the orientation of the kitchen: if it is north-oriented and is devoid of natural light, an image in warm colors will make it seem warmer and more welcoming.

WHAT IMAGES ARE SUITABLE FOR THE KITCHEN DECOR

Of course, since it’s about the kitchen, you can choose a wallpaper with gastronomic theme. The ones illustrating exotic fruits and coffee beans at macro resolution are among the best selling products in this category. But you can choose any picture you like: a forest landscape, a piece of wild beach, the image of a metropolis in the evening, a street with small and chic cafes or that of a fairy-tale village.

Very popular lately are models of wallpaper in black and white. They are chosen especially by those who admire and appreciate minimalist white kitchens. The good news is that black and white wallpaper can be chosen in setting up a kitchen with purple, violet, gray or even black furniture.

Would you decorate your kitchen with photo wallpaper or you think that it loads too much the decor?
